Medical Weight Loss Clinic Near Lorton, VA

BeLite Medical Center is a physician-supervised weight loss practice in the City of Fairfax, about 13 miles north of Lorton up Ox Road. BeLite has been treating weight loss since 1995, and our Fairfax office has served patients from Lorton and across Northern Virginia since 1996. Your first consultation is free.

Where is BeLite in relation to Lorton?

We are at 3923 Blenheim Blvd, Suite 61A, Fairfax, VA 22030, just south of Fairfax Circle. Free parking is available at the office park.

Driving from Lorton: Ox Road (Route 123) is the direct line. Take it north from Lorton through Fairfax Station and past Burke Lake, continuing as it becomes Chain Bridge Road in the City of Fairfax. Turn right onto Fairfax Boulevard (Route 50) east toward Fairfax Circle, then follow the signs onto Blenheim Boulevard south (formerly Old Lee Highway) to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A.

If Ox Road is slow: I-95 north to the Fairfax County Parkway west, then Route 123 north — longer in distance but sometimes quicker in the morning.

Estimated driving time: approximately 25 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic.

By public transit: Lorton has a VRE station and the Amtrak Auto Train terminal, but both run toward Washington and points south rather than toward us, and the nearest Metro station, Franconia–Springfield, also heads the wrong way. There is no sensible rail route to this office from Lorton. Our Lorton patients drive.

What does the program involve?

BeLite specializes in the pharmacotherapy of obesity: prescription medications that reduce hunger and cravings, combined with a nutrition plan, exercise guidance, and close medical supervision. Because these are serious medications, patients are seen by a medical practitioner at least every four to five weeks to monitor progress, check for side effects, and adjust treatment.

We treat people who are healthy and overweight as well as people with significant medical problems. There are no contracts. If you come for a consultation and decide not to enroll, you pay nothing.

Which medications does BeLite prescribe?

Depending on your medical history and goals, your practitioner may recommend:

• Zepbound (tirzepatide)
• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Phentermine
• Oral GLP-1 medications: Foundayo (orforglipron) and the Wegovy pill

Selected medications can be dispensed at our on-site pharmacy, so some patients, if they choose to, can leave their appointment with their prescriptions in hand. See the full list on our medications page.

Also available at BeLite

Alongside weight management, BeLite offers Xeomin — an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injection that smooths frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. It is the same class of treatment as Botox, with comparable effectiveness and duration; BeLite chose Xeomin because its formulation contains only the active molecule, without the accessory proteins that may contribute to resistance over years of use. Treatments are given by a certified physician assistant or board-certified nurse practitioner. Results appear over three to seven days and last three to four months, with no downtime, and the consultation is free.

Are appointments in person or virtual?

Eating, Walking and Training in Lorton

Two parts of the program happen between appointments: how you eat day to day, and how you move. These are places in and around Lorton that make both easier. We have no affiliation with any of them — this is a list for patients who asked where to start.

Places to walk

Lorton has more protected open space within a short drive than anywhere else we serve — a regional park on the Occoquan, a second on the bay, a state park on the Potomac, and eight miles of trail laid out over the grounds of the old Lorton Reformatory. If you live here, the problem is not finding somewhere to walk.

• Occoquan Regional Park, 9751 Ox Rd — the easiest place to start, and the one on your way to us. Easy-to-moderate trails along the Occoquan River, large free parking, clean facilities and a café on site, open 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The riverside stretches are level and shaded, and because the parking is generous you are not circling for a space before you have even started.
• Pohick Bay Regional Park, 6501 Pohick Bay Dr — open sunrise to sunset, with some of the best-marked trails in the county, parking right at the trailhead and clean restrooms beside it. The red loop runs a little over four miles with about 240 feet of climb, which makes it a genuine workout rather than a stroll. Worth knowing: the vehicle entrance fee applies to out-of-district visitors, not to Fairfax County residents, so if you live in Lorton you drive in at no charge.
• Laurel Hill Park, 8780 Lorton Rd — roughly eight miles of mostly easy trail across the grounds of the former Lorton Reformatory, with plenty of parking, historical markers along the way and the Giles Run Trail running through as part of the regional greenway. The trailhead sits behind the picnic shelters and takes a moment to find the first time. The surface is unpaved, so it is not a stroller or walker route, and this is tick country — long trousers and a check afterwards.
• Mason Neck State Park, 7301 High Point Rd — the one to save for a morning when you want the walk to be the point rather than the chore. Trails through forest and along the Potomac shoreline, bald eagles overhead often enough that people stop to watch, and rangers who run guided history walks. A parking fee applies here, as at any Virginia state park.

Eating out without starting over

Your plan is built around normal food in smaller quantities, not special meals. Lorton's advantage is that so much of what it sells is simply meat cooked over heat: Afghan and Mediterranean kabob houses along Ox Road, and Peruvian charcoal chicken in Gunston Plaza. That is the easy order. A quarter or half chicken with a vegetable side instead of the fries, or a kabob with salad standing in for part of the rice, needs no special pleading at any of them. Two things to watch — the green sauce that comes with Peruvian chicken is mayonnaise-based, so treat it as a condiment rather than a pour, and the rice at a kabob house arrives in quantity whether you asked for it or not.

• Yafa Grille, 9033 White Spruce Way — Palestinian fast-casual, built exactly the way you want a restaurant built when you are watching what you eat: you pick the vessel, then the foundation, then the protein, then the toppings. Choosing mixed greens, kale, spinach or arugula as the base instead of the basmati is a single decision at the counter that settles most of the meal, and the proteins run from falafel through chicken shawarma to kebabs and shrimp. Open 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, to 9:00 PM Sunday.
• Kabob Station, 8971 Ox Road — a small, plain storefront doing kabobs properly: chicken, beef, lamb, kofta and shrimp, with rice, chickpeas and fresh naan, and vegetarian options if you want them. Open 10:30 AM to 9:30 PM Monday to Thursday, to 10:30 PM Friday and Saturday, and to 8:30 PM Sunday. Order the chicken breast kabob with a salad and you have done the hard part already.

Two linked entries, though Lorton has more than two good options. The rest — including the Gunston Plaza charcoal chicken place and the long-standing café down in Occoquan — have no websites of their own, only delivery-app and review listings, so we have no link we can stand behind. The guidance above is written to be useful at any of them.

Gyms and studios

Strength training protects muscle while you lose weight, which is why we raise it with every patient. Lorton is short on big-box gyms and well supplied with small ones, which suits most of our patients better anyway. All three below will put you in front of someone who watches your form.

• Hodges Fitness, 8530 Cinder Bed Rd, Suite 2200 — 45-minute group sessions combining functional strength and interval work, opening at 4:30 AM on weekdays, which is early enough for almost any shift. Their own description is honest about what it is: intense, but manageable at many fitness levels, with coaches who work on form before intensity. The first class is free, so you can find out whether the room suits you before committing.
• SL Performance — Lorton (confirm the studio location when you book) — a one-person private studio run by Sarah Lincoln, working one to one on Pilates, mobility and corrective exercise, with pre- and post-natal programming as well. The reason it is on this list: the focus is on correcting faulty movement patterns rather than adding load, which is the right order of operations if something currently hurts. Appointments only, weekdays, and she also coaches online.
• CORE Personal Training and Pilates Studio, 12720 Darby Brook Ct, Woodbridge — just over the Prince William line, and worth the extra few minutes. Pilates on both reformer and mat, one-to-one personal training, and mobility and balance classes. They describe their functional training as having come out of physical therapy, they ask about past injuries at the first consultation, and they name weight loss and improving stability and balance as goals they work toward — which is more or less the brief we would write for you ourselves.
